- Public Abstract (ETD)
My work contains themes involving the duality of the human mind’s ability to transform and mirror the physical realities surrounding it. Through imagery, proximity, and reflection the elements of space, time, and place become modified to transport the viewer into a mental landscape. These surreal narratives pose questions, but no answers. They remain as un-declarative statements for reflection and exploration.
Through biomorphic structures and portals viewers are granted access to otherworldly and private chambers that narrate notions of relationships, advancement, and preservation. These viewing apparatuses allow for a personal encounter with their own head spaces, as well as others that are alien.
